Safe baby peacock tank mates?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ugh what a mistake... Rookie one I'm sure three hours after the new fish were in the tank my Ocells were sluggish and injured :( I yanked the new fish out and did a 50% water change. There ok this morning but I wasn't going to take any chances. Either disease or when the lights went out they were attacked by the African chichlids. The silver dollars were rough looking I just figured they were beaten up in such a small tank at Walmart. I think they had a disease.

I can't believe I didn't see this. Those african cichlids you picked up are mbuna cichlids and are highly aggressive. Definitely not a good mix with baby bass. They will bully the bass easily. Good thing you took out the mbunas. How big is your tank?

55 gallon god I feel bad like I said one of the Ocells is the bully and he got a taste of his own medicine last night lol I guess. Any-who there back to normal this morning they wouldn't even eat last night. Luckily I have Good Friday off of work and FedEx delivers that day. Will be ordering a couple more Ocells to make it 4 of them. I wish I thought of this before!
